I had the worst experience. My food arrived an hour after ordering and when I voiced my concerns to the manager she told me that she was going to take my meal out the server's pay. I felt so bad for speaking up and I'm literally trembling as I type this.

You can get the squeez cheese or the regular hamburger no cheese skirt.
The Food was amazing. They ran out of Blue Moon, but had an alternative, thank goodness..( seems every restaurant runs out, or does not carry blue moon) The best thing? Amazing service. I put the wrong total, and one of the amazing employees found me out front, to correct the issue. Definitely my go to from now on!! That in itself, was amazing..

For quite a while now, squeeze burger and brew was our go to place. The menu was limited, but exactly what we wanted. We wanted a good cheeseburger and fries and sometimes a milkshake. The cheese skirt was unique and was half the fun of eating the burger. The ambience was good. Several television sets showing sports or news was great. The service was always good too. However, the last two times we went here, things have changed. The menu is now expanded. Not sure why they did this. The burgers no longer tasted the same. In fact, the last time we were there, the burgers tasted burned and the bun was wet. My wife's burger was wet as well. She wanted a burger with the skirt without mayonnaise or pickles. She wanted everything else on the burger. What she got was a burger without lettuce or tomato or onion. She had a pickle on the side. When she asked the waitress about this, the waitress said that she chose a build your burger, and because she didn't say she wanted onion and tomato and lettuce, she didn't get it. It really didn't matter because, her burger didn't taste very good. It tasted like either the grill was dirty or something was off. The other thing is, the tables and chairs have changed, and a good section of the restaurant was in complete disarray. We wound up getting seated next to a very loud family which further deteriorated the experience. In the past, customers were kept separated to allow for a more intimate experience. One thing we did notice about the family next to us is that they were also talking about the quality of the food. They had mentioned that the other squeeze burgers in the area, which I didn't know there were others, all had made these changes, and this family was not satisfied either. Something we've always noticed about this restaurant is that while it is a large restaurant, half of it is the bar. I guess that's good if you want drinks or the nightlife but, when you bring your family in, you just want a good wholesome meal. I do not know why things were changed. Maybe it was the cook, maybe it was the spatula, but who knows. All we do know is that as my wife and I left the restaurant, we looked at each other, and said, I don't think we're coming back here again. When you pay over $40 for two burgers, fries and a soda, you want quality. You want a good experience. We were not satisfied this last time nor the time before. I do know that the manager of this restaurant will read this review. All I can say is that Stockton needs a good restaurant that serves burgers and fries and is a fun experience. I don't know what has changed or why the change was made but, you have lost two steady customers and our family.

Came here to have lunch with the family. It was my first time to this location. I love how big it is inside, perfect for big parties. Our server was very nice and attentive. Definitely come here with an appetite. The portions are big and shareable. My burger tasted good, it was just huge and not sure I'm a fan of the cheese skirt after trying it again. Other than that, we enjoyed our lunch.

It’s a no and a pass for me.Prices are very expensive. Fries do not come with the burgers!Ordered the double burger with the cheese skirt. Asked for no pickles.Burger came with three huge slices of pickles. Yes of course I could pick them off and I did. The burger patties were dry like jerky.The cheese skirt was too overwhelming, rich and oily for me.It spoiled my appetite for the rest of the burger.My son ordered a burger with barbecue sauce and bacon. His looked a little better. Slightly pink in the middle…not so dry.We ordered the fries. Paid an extra two dollars for garlic flavor. The fries were mediocre and it had very little garlic flavoring.We also had beer battered fried pickles. They were pretty good. They were served hot and fresh.Not impressed at all.Will not be returning.

I ate here tonight so you don’t have to.Finally tried this in person after ordering it for delivery a few times. Dinner was on a weekday about 6:30pm.Our waitress was completely friendly but a little awkward. I only say this because she kept apologizing and trying to explain why things were a little off. ??♂️First issue…price. I’m totally down to pay good money for good food. All of the main entrees here are hamburgers. You know, the cheapest item on any other menu. Most of them have a cheese skirt around them.Still 15-20 bucks for a hamburger?!And to top it off the burgers don’t even come with fries. So another 10 bucks for a basket of fries. Also got the the fried pickles as an appetizer. They were decent…although a little greasy. ?Just to reiterate, I’m totally ok with paying good money for good food…but it was FIFTY dollars for 2 people for a couple hamburgers, a basket of fries, fried pickles and one soda.Oh and the best part…I ordered my soda and asked for a glass of water. I was brought two sized cups. The soda was in the regular size cup and the water was served in a cup the size of an In-N-Out water cup. When I asked about the water I was told by our server that “She wants us to do it that way.” ?I understand a smaller water cup at a self serve spot where you have to worry about customers who get soda instead of water but this is a sit down restaurant where your server refills your drink. So weird. ?At the height of dinner there was only 3-4 parties in the whole place. I think I understand why. ?I doubt I will return. ??♂️

Burger was delicious, onion rings crunchy, music was good, and the server was very nice. If I'm ever in Stockton again, definitely coming back.
Best burgers I've had in long time and very loaded to rim!! Service excellent and fast and fresh. Plenty good brews on tap. Plenty of space to eat.

Under new ownership-New menu great vibe and not just beer.... Cocktails- wife loved the lemon drop burger of the month the sliders was more than enough for me and my wife

If you love melted cheese and burnt cheese, this is the place for you. Burgers, tacos, meat sandwiches, etc. all can be washed down with a good variety of beers and wine cocktails. Service was good. There were 9 of us. Food took a while to come out. Our waitress was amazing! Super friendly and always checked on us. She was handling two large parties and she managed both well. Our table ordered: Plain squeeze Chorizo squeeze Pastrami squeeze 1/3 lb squeeze with mushrooms Tacos Steak sandwich Hotdog Most entrees have the cheese skirt but you can change your order to not have it or to add it. Overall, great place to hang out.

This is a small Northern California chain that started in Sacramento area that use to be called Squeeze Inn. The burgers have always been tasty but I have not had a chance to try them in Stockton until last night. So I ordered a bacon cheese burger and dropped the normal condiments ( mustard & mayo) for BBQ sauce and no pickle. Pickles are tasty but the vinegar in the pickling process can really throw off the whole taste of the burger for me so I dump it. As usual the burger was delicious and good to chow down on. The standout though was the garlic fries. Who needs any ketchup or BBQ sauce - which is what I prefer with normal fries - when you can have garlic. I just love their garlic fries - the best way to have fries is white and nice helping of garlic. The young lady who took my order was very nice and friendly - happy to take any modifications on my order - so service was great. The place was very clean. So tasty food, great service and clean restaurant - not sure what else you would want when going out to eat - I left with a full belly and as a happy camper.

I tried squeeze today agin after a failed attempt a month ago. We decided to do take out, that was the worse mistake. My husband didn't check the bag & they forgot a whole cheeseburger of ours. Needless to say the fries ended up being eaten cold as well as my husband's burger. My husband and I went to squeeze a month ago. They had an event that day for lagunaitas so we knew it would be busy. We ordered appetizers and drinks, we than proceeded to order our food. A couple with two kids arrived and sat a table aside from us & ordered their food 10 minutes after us. Food was taking long, server let us know it would be a while (we understood). Shortly after we see the waitress bring the family aside us their meals, 10 minutes go by & we ask about our food & told it was being prepared, another 5 min go by & we decided to pay our appetizer & drinks. I hate bad reviews but I think they need more staff &/or need to be attentive. I don't think I will be returning to squeeze here in Stockton anymore. Too many failed attempts to keep trying. Foods good but not worth hassle
